FAQ

Questions, answered

Does it work on group wedding photos?

Yes. Up to 12 faces per photo are detected and restored individually.

Is it good enough to print?

Enhanced photos come out at up to 3200 pixels on the long side, which prints well at common frame sizes.

Is Doetra Photo Restorer really free?

Yes. There are no credits, no subscription and no watermark, and HD downloads are free. The AI runs on your own device, so there is no per-photo server cost to pass on.

Are my family photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The AI models are downloaded to your browser and every photo is restored locally on your device. Your photos are never sent to a server.

What does the AI actually fix?

It finds every face and restores it (sharper eyes, skin and hair), enhances the whole photo 2× to remove blur and film grain, brings back contrast in faded prints, and repairs scratches, tears and dust spots you paint over.

How long does it take?

Usually 10–40 seconds per photo on a computer, depending on its size and the number of faces. Photos are processed one at a time so your browser stays responsive.
